Im doing a project on the flowerhorn for school and was wondering whats the phylum or class of the flowerhorn?
You mean MidasWater;5078642; said:Phylum chordata LOL I'm kidding. Flowerhorns, being hybrids can't be scientifically classed because.. well.. they're a mix of a ton of fish. You could try doing a project on some of the cichlids known to be used to create the flowerhorn though, such as as trimacs, red devils etc.
True but there really isn't any reason to use Labiatus, longer body and no kok aren't great traits. Citrinellus is where are all the goodies are....RD.;5079488; said:You mean Midevil.
Chances are pretty good that many of the Amphilophus used in FH breeding were/are a mix of Amphilophus citrinellus, and Amphilophus labiatus.
No joke, I am finding it hard to find a Midas that doesn't have a lot of Red Devil in it. Gonna have to put away from Rapps Midas.RD.;5079683; said:Absolutely, no argument there but the reality is the vast majority of Midas/Red Devils are indeed of mixed blood. Take the best males & line breed them with the best females & you end up with the traits that will work best with a FH strain. No need to import pure fish, when you already have exactly what's required at your finger tips. The end result is koky deep bodied short faced Midevils.
